Oog...

Had a brief bout of vertigo last night, more severe than usual but otherwise nothing unusual. This is one of the symptoms of my irritable bowl syndrome, though an uncommon one. I noticed another two or three episodes during the night, which was unusual, though weather fronts moving in can sometimes add to what is already happening in my gut.

However, when I got out of bed this morning the vertigo was severe. My gut was also acting up pretty badly. I took some meclizine hydrochloride for the dizziness and my usual stomach remedies. No appetite, of course. I spent about two hours lying in my recliner before finally managing to get downstairs to feed the cats. I was a bit less dizzy by then, but still went down step-by-step on my rump. Fortunately, coming back up was easier.

It's mid-afternoon, now, and the dizziness and gut troubles are easing. Finally eating something. Hopefully, I'll be okay in another few hours.

This is both the most intense and longest-lasting attack I've had in years. And I'm wondering if the stomach crunches I did last night were a contributing factor. I only did a hundred - not even sore today - though.
